Hi ive come to the conclusion that I require new targa rubbers and possibly door rubbers as no matter what I try the car still leaks ive tried used targa rubbers off ebay and they just leak the same my main concern is the leak by the ecu although being dripped on while driving is bearable I may as well sorr that too so where can I buy a new set of targa rubbers and new rubber door sections? Unless anyone has a very good set for sale? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Anyone ever fitted 3point rear seatbelts in a Jdm series 1? Is there pre tapped holes in the body for the mounts etc? I reckon there's probably not. Looking to fit a child seat in if possible.

Cant remember seeing one like this so what make is it anyone?

This is not backed up by proper research, just a comment. Back in the last century, I had an MG Midget and really wanted an MGB GT but it was just out of reach. A £3k - £5k one would have been nice and not a basket case but just too £££. Fast forward a decade (still last century) and after a bunch of company cars, I could buy a car for me. I know, must be able to afford an MGB, maybe an MGB V8 by now, they were only a few k when I wanted one. Look on MGOC etc and bloody nora, a decent one now £8k - £10k min. OK, I thought, let's have a look at other "classics" of the same era. Hang on, wasn't there a Datsun something or other and so there was. Started looking at 240…

I was sent some 99 tail copies to repair and boy they were rough on arrival so I experimented with some new ideas/products. Turned out rather well methinks, there was a lot of work as I had to practically start from scratch, one of the backs was creamy and the other white inside so these had both needed to be sprayed gloss white and baked :wink:. Here they are alongside some genuine units... I must admit I'm struggling looking at them again in that above pic, the one on the very right is genuine for sure :drool:. This next pic as one of each, matching pair you could say !! For the first time I chrome wrapped the inserts to mimic. …

Hi all, im just wondering what you guys do with the side lights when using the Jdm indecators in the front bumper? Has anyone modded them so the side light can be used in the blank? Cheers Dan

Its seems well known that the oil pressure unit / sender thingy on the 300zx is sheit, so what do people use instead, an aftermarket jobby or an inline gauge or poss booth?

Look at this photo, directly under the bolt highlighted in green there is a blank in the turbo oil feed. Mine didn't have one as that was the feed used for the old turbos but it seems to be an oddball size between M8/M10. I will have to get one from Mike but im wondering what it's purpose is? Second question is i've just mounted the turbos and the oil drain pipes don't line up with the tubes on the sump, they are sitting slightly lower. Is that normal? I've got MSP manifolds so im wondering if they have placed the turbos off, has anyone experienced this?

I popped down to Lee Dents place with 300zx_666 yesterday, thanks for driving Ian, to see how my car was progressing. Engine was removed to do a number of jobs but is now nearly ready to go back in. Found a number of problems from 2 destroyed engine mounts to melted and bypassed knock sensor, however important stuff like compression test and injector readings were all ok. Thanks Lee for the tea and butties, your doing a fantastic job

My niece spotted this in crewe today and got a photo

Anyone know any history on this zed? Gunmetal grey 2+2 TT Auto, it's up for sale.

Hi Jeff, you have a PM from me Dean

Is posting a reg to see if anyone knows any history of a zed allowed?

Hi people Ive discovered that my steering wheel turns left and right. lol what i mean is that shifts from left to right theres no steering adjustment option, so i removed the panel below the steering wheel to access the steering column there seems to be a plate side on going across the column with a bolt. the bolt seems tight, and while moving the wheel in a left to right motion you can the the column moving side to side. does anyone have any info on this? is it meant to move sideways a little?

just been watching terminator 3 and spotted this looks like a zed what do you guys think

what would be the genral advise for someone namley me, who is going to do a na rear end mod in the spring on my tt and before replacing with the newly painted na subframe diff ect, i was thinking of fitting solid bushes or have i got things wrong? any ones to avoid.

My old ones are bust due to over heating so I want to know... On a relatively high powered Zed, how important is it to have uprated valve springs? Or are the normal Nissan ones pretty good? And which ones to get?

Seen this on facebook and thought I'd share here..title says enough.
